LOL i just had a funny thought.Which one of those shows is the one where the dumbass squeezes juice out of every disgusting thing he can find and drinks it? Elephant dung, snakeskins and stuff. This has become my idea of survival, juicing the nastiest things you can lay your hands on.
how did people survive with sunglasses like that??
20+ years ago they didKenji is a crazy Ice Climber from Japan....they wear weird **** like that.
lulz. i might stop and get some milk, but other than that I'm in pretty good shape.
What's in that?....Water, sugar and...............purple!LOL i just had a funny thought.
"JUICE?!!?! WTF IS JUICE?!?! I WANT SOME GRAPE DRINK!"
Some people couldn't survive...
yep, my cousin saw the same thing in DC
where am i gonna go? Jersey? you are getting what we are...maybe a bit less. my forecast says 12-14" more inches on the 14" we still havesteve you riding this one out in PA?
Depends on the wilderness. I think I could last a while if I had a source of water nearby, especially if that water contained fish.droppped in the wilderness. clothes on your back, no food, water or tools.
consider it the same attire as just going through security at the airport with no carry on luggage.

Its been 25-30 degrees recently here. Depending on your cold weather training and proper cold weather clothing, you could easily make a week.Presuming winter up here I'd be lucky to make the three day mark.
As the question was posed, you're set out equipped as to go through airport screening, so I presume no shoes, no coat, no belt, no knife...Its been 25-30 degrees recently here. Depending on your cold weather training and proper cold weather clothing, you could easily make a week.
I have been trained extensively in cold weather survival and wilderness survival so I think that without injury I could make a few weeks easy.
It actually sounds kind of fun now. I have been planning a 3 day hike/camp on the long trail up on Mt Mansfield in the next few weeks. I think I just might.
Not to undermine your skills but most folks could probably kill or capture a squirrel or possum. But once they had the game they would not know how to prepare or cook the thing. The other thing my Grandfather taught me was how to assess the game. If it takes a lot of energy to capture or kill the game, then make sure the game is going to actually resupply the energy expelled to capture and prepare it. Since that would require eating all the icky parts, I doubt most of us could actually do it. Capturing 4 or 5 squirrels is a lot of work. Fish would be my primary source of food for this reason. Lots a bang for the buck in them....Assuming it's not dead winter, I think I could survive a good long time.
Getting a fire started would be a pain, but I know the technique.
Id find a stream and be able to collect crayfish with my bare hands. It's also very easy to construct fish traps with sticks.
I know how to make some deadfall traps for rabbits and squirrels.
I also have some knowledge of wild edibles.

I'm thinking we have the same ones you have in the cumberland. Alleghenys and Rustys. The Rustys are a couple of inches long and could be a meal. But I am not aware of their habitat enough to capture any quantity. Are they tasty? We use them for bait when we do capture them.Crayfish... heat and eat.
Not sure if we have the same crayfish... probably not as they vary quite a bit regionally (although I do know we have the Rusty's down here, as they're considered an exotic species)I'm thinking we have the same ones you have in the cumberland.

I have, thought it was pretty interesting.derp survival by gonzales is an excellent book on how to not be a complete idiot in the woods.
Anybody else read this?
